It's not that deeply at all really, helmets are for protection that's pretty simple.

Yeah. But the helmets aren't for protection in the movie. The audience can tell that he doesn't need it. When I think of thor, I think of the big blondie with wings on his head, it's part of what MAKES his appearance for me, and for some people here as well. I love MCU thor, but as long as I see him without the helmet on screen, a part of me will always feel like it doesn't QUITE look like the thor I know, or the thor I paint in my head.

I think MARVEL Thor, and guy with long blond hair in a winged helmet springs to mind. I can say establishing the no head gear look for the character as the norm is one of my few nitpicks for the first film.

C'mon Marvel, embrace it, he's a GOD, not a prince, not an alien, a GOD
screw the butt-hurt religious zealot types who'd get offended

well, he is from a different dimension, with powers. Sounds godly to me.

then you have the Avengers cartoons referring to him as the "prince of thunder"
it was just the one small moment in Avengers, but I'm just talking more about Marvel's general apprehension about calling him a god in advertising and the like.

I still friggin loved that movie, and to all the "hulk beat thor" people, you're wrong, sorry.
